Geoffrey Bear, the international ambassador of the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, is continuing his travels in Toronto.

Geoffrey, who sports flying gear and goggles, was adopted in June by Gary 'Boss Hog' Houghton, crew chief of Placid Lassie - a 1943 Douglas Dakota.

Both the aircraft and Geoffrey took part in the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, and later that month went to Germany as part of the 75th anniversary of the end of the Berlin Airlift.

Museum volunteer Garry Lakin presented Geoffrey to Sherry Brydson and Rob McDonald, owners of de Havilland Canada, when they were in the UK to attend Farnborough International Airshow.

The pair visited the museum as they plan to open an aviation centre in Toronto to celebrate the history of de Havilland Canada.
